  1. E-learning Community Meeting - Video-Conference E-learning across international campuses University Park (UNUP) Malaysia Campus (UNMC) Ningbo Campus (UNNC) Stephen Hibberd, Director of Service Teaching, School of Mathematical Sciences Associate Director, CETL - Centre for Integrative Learning UNUP

  2. Overview Introduction E-learning Development in Mathematical Sciences Module Assessment with QMP • Overview • Use of E-support • Implementation • Outcomes of e-approach • Implementation E-learning – Opportunities for further development with UNMC & UNMC ?

  3. Background – Service Mathematics Provision for non-specialist mathematics students requiring mathematics. UNUP Foundation 2 modules / 100 students (per Session) Engineering / Science 2 cohorts First Year 11 modules 850 students (per Semester) Engin. , Built Env. Science Second Year 6 modules 550 students (per Semester) Engin., Built Env. Third/Fourth Year 4 modules 300 students (per Session) Engineering UNMC (parallel modules to UNUP) Foundation Developed for UNMC intake from UNUP modules First Year 2 modules/ teaching staff Engineering (2 cohorts) 350 students Second Year 4 modules Third Year 2 modules 60 students (optional) UNNC (parallel modules to UNUP) starting September 2008 Engineering Foundation Developing for UNNC intake with input from UNUP modules First Year 2 modules teaching staff (starting Sept 2009) (~ 50 students?)

  4. Module teaching Global Support Student Student/ staff interaction Student learning pedagogy Use of E-support (WebCT and QMP) • Provision of a facility to supply learning materials electronically • Improve consistency and quality of student learning • Managed learning environment • Flexibility and access • Communication • Access to directed information and services To enable E-Support, E-Learning, E-Assessment and E-Teaching VLE Learning map

  5. URL: http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/melees Username: melees2007 Password: melees2007 MELEES outcomes • the establishment of a learning environment offering support resources, assessment and module-specific information; • ii) promoting active self-learning of students to supplement lectures; • iii) providing a range of materials reflecting the diversity of intake abilities in mathematics; • iv) broadening the range of learning and support opportunities for students; • v) enable teaching staff to share and develop resources; • vi) improved communication with students, teaching staff and their client schools. Mathematics Electronic Learning Environment for Engineering and Science

  6. Support materials: HELM (workbooks / CAA) Mathtutor (video/quizzes) Special needs Module information Module materials: some shared with UNMC

  7. Pilot Use of Question Mark Perception (QMP) Computer-aided assessment (CAA) and Mathematics  Significant background interest in using CAA within Mathematics in HE • large classes • pedagogic benefit of regular formative assessment • simpler mathematical techniques lends well to CAA • Ongoing development of CAA •  Mathematical Sciences have a substantial Service Maths provision • looking to provide means of giving students increased feedback • efficient and effective assessments

  8. Delivery Shell

  9. Operational Mid-Sessional tests delivered to Foundation students (~ 100students) 2 modules - January 2007 & 2008 • Experiences: • Worked well and without any significant problems • Coped with special needs (easy to provide special test version) • Some students had concerns over fixed numerical input (now revised) Now embedded into Foundation level modules; Extension of Computer Assisted Assessment to Honours Mathematics students ongoing

  10. Opportunities and Challenges - teaching across international campuses • Implementation of Teaching, Learning and Assessment materials • across Campuses • (bandwidth & software - Staff interaction) • Development of existing materials and implementation to meet internationalisation needs • Critical appreciation of teaching and learning requirement in a multi-campus environment • Inclusive teaching and internationalism • ( student needs and corresponding teaching / learning / support approaches)
